In Pachamarka, sunlight comes with a receipt.
For seventeen-year-old Inez Quispe, the daily struggle for warmth is a lesson in corporate control. SolPact's orbital mirrors ration the sun, turning heat into a luxury service and freezing neighborhoods like Kantu into submission. But when Inez discovers a hidden pattern in the light-a "shadow-script" warning-she realizes the scarcity isn't just weather; it's engineered.
Guided by a mysterious phenomenon called Helio and a warmth-glyph in her palm that demands she "pause before grasping," Inez uncovers a dangerous choice: seize the control tower to save her struggling family, or dismantle the choke point entirely. Alongside a ragtag coalition of rooftop stewards, Inez must race against SolPact's tightening grip to install a new protocol-one where the sun belongs to everyone.
Sunshare Mandala is a gripping solarpunk journey about the price of stability, the power of decentralized resistance, and the courage to hold still when the world wants you to run.
